It is not everyday a good friend reaches their 7th decade! Derek did it all in fine style with a delicious seafood dinner and of course a birthday cake fitting the occasion.
While Rose and Carl were with us Al and June were very kind and loaned us their Class C motor home as a very convenient 'Bedroom', parked just a short distance away from us at Pacific Border RV.
A wonderful dinner celebration at Bob and Nancey's with a special introduction to Louis XIV Brandy. A real treat!
On Saturday we had a chance to meet Bea & Rex and Fran & Grant for lunch at Jack's Pub in Richmond. Rex and Carl have been exchanging emails (jokes) for years but this is the first time they have had a chance to meet in person.
Yesterday Carl and Rose arrived from London on their way back to New Zealand. They had to chance to watch the rugby game when the N.Z. Black Ferns beat England for the Women's Rugby World Cup with Vita as a member of the team.
On Sunday all the local Tai Chi Clubs and their members gathered at Jack Poole Plaza at the Convention Center in Downtown Vancouver in an attempt to have a line stretching up to 1 km along the Water Front all doing a Tai Chi 'set' in unison. We joined Bob on the Square as the many participants were heading home.
